Airport Security Future: No More Touchie-Feelie?


According to a recent USA Today article, an advanced security system will take over at airports within the next decade.

Instead of passengers required to be body-searched by human TSA agents, remove clothing and endure other current inconveniences, they’ll just need to walk through an electronic corridor. Super-sensitive scanners will make all the necessary observations as they pass.

Along with allowing passenger boarding comfort, the state-of-the-art system is expected to be much more efficient than the current manual one. It will be better capable of detecting illegal, as well as potentially dangerous, items hidden on passenger bodies, clothing and carry-ons.

Travel Deals: Get on Groupon Getaways PDF Print E-mail

Paris

In our Los Angeles area, for the past year or so we’ve taken advantage of all kinds of local Groupon deals we see online almost every day. They save an average of 50 percent per purchase on theaters, restaurants, bakeries, spas, auto services and others.

Now, Groupon has partnered with big online travel agency Expedia to entice travelers to take advantage of discounted business and vacation getaways.

As with other Groupon services, it starts with free Groupon Getaways membership, where you’ll receive offers to buy travel vouchers. Typically, they will be eligible for certain travel price promotions for a limited period of time.

If you want to be a Groupon groupie or for more information, go to www.groupon.com
